In Younger Dryas, the collapse resulted in glaciation, so that&#39;s counter-intuitive, as indeed is the notion that shutting off a system transporting heat causes more extreme heat. <br />The standard summary is that Europe becomes colder and drier, with some areas affected by more powerful storms. eg https//doi.org/10.1007/s00382-015-2540-2. phys.org/news/2021-08-ocean-current-approaching.html. I&#39;m interested in your summary as a policymaker, because it makes a potential difference to adaptation planning. <br />Hot summers in Europe are the result of a weakening of the jetstream, which is the result of reduced temperature differential between poles and equator, which results in &quot;stuck&quot; weather systems and hot air coming up from the Sahara. Again, fascinated by the possible AMOC role in this. DrPetehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16536567310049886070[email protected]
